need is the question, with a 4" lift your stock steering will be maxed out
at the ball joints, sure you could drive it that way but if your going to any
flexing your going to be putting to much stress on them. you could try a zj
pitman +3/4" or go full tilt and get clayton's +2"pitman like i run with a 5-6 lift.
